The best high protein banana bread I've ever had! (with choco chips!)
High-Protein Seitan Banana Bread w/ (or without) chocolate chips. A dense, high-protein, minimally sweetened vegan banana bread designed for performance and meal prep. Sweetness from natural dates provides that next level, superfood performance foods to fuel you through those powerful workouts!!! This is my own personal recipe I've been developing for over a year! I'm sure it is not fully finished, but as of right now, it makes pretty damn good, high protein banana bread! P.S. I’m all about consistency and flavor, so these muffins are higher in calories and carbs than your typical banana bread. That said, the texture and taste are usually superior to most high-protein banana breads that rely only on vital wheat gluten and mashed bananas. 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 Dry Ingredients - 200 g vital wheat gluten - 40 g oats, blended into flour - 1 tsp salt - ½ tsp baking soda - ½ tsp baking powder - 1 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin spice Wet Ingredients - 442 g ripe bananas (≈ 4 large bananas) - About 300 g Medjool dates (≈ 12 - 15 large. I use 15 dates personally.), pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 minutes, drained. - If you have a high speed blender, you can skip soaking the dates. - ¾ cup soy milk - (Optional: vanilla extract or a dash of maple if you want more sweetness) 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 (𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿) 1. If you’re using the same blender, blend the oats first to make oat flour. Add the oat flour to your dry ingredients, then use the blender again to prepare your wet ingredients. 2. If you’re using a high-speed blender, you can skip soaking the dates. However, if your dates are hard or dry, I recommend soaking them first to help soften them. 3. Remove pits from dates and soak pitted dates in hot water for 5 minutes. 4. Drain completely. 5. Blend the softened dates and bananas with ¾ cup soy milk until fully smooth.
